Andres Aquino's "Journey" Collection to be Shown at Couture Fashion Week New York
Multitalented designer Andres Aquino will present his latest collection entitled “Journey” at Couture Fashion Week. The fashion show will take place on Valentine’s Day, Saturday February 14, 2009 at 4:00 p.m. at the world famous Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City.
Mr. Aquino's long trajectory of artistic endeavors has taken him from theater directing and writing to show production and fashion design. His collections have been featured in TV shows and magazines in Europe, Asia and North and South America, and he has shown his designs on the Couture Fashion Week runways for several years.
The collection is inspired by the beauty of different regions and cities of the world and is a tribute to the inner and outer beauty of women around the globe. The collection is also a complement to Mr. Aquino's upcoming book of poetry whose major theme is the continuing journey in the endless pursuit of beauty as his muse.
In addition to being the founder and producer of Couture Fashion Week, Andres Aquino is also a talented writer and fine art photographer.
This season's creations are of rich French, Japanese and Indian lace among other fine fabrics and combine elements of dance and fashion. Special one-of-a-kind matching shoes for this collection are being crafted by extraordinary British shoe designer Silvia Campbell. Some of the beautiful ensembles will be adorned by Kenyan-born designer Nasimiyu Wekesa whose jewelry has been worn by Christy Turlington, Patti Scialfa Springsteen and other celebrities.
The impeccable hair styling for the fashion show will be done by hair stylist to the stars Federico Calce of Federico Salon in New York, and makeup will be done by film and runway makeup artist Mahealani Diego.
